Getting ready for Halloween

 It is October and time to dig out the Halloween decorations...
With the move last year, some items were left behind, so I am on the hunt for new things this year.
(Like a few cool things scored from the cousins' yard sale earlier this summer).

This halloween pinwheel is one of Jude's favorite items.  He loves turning it around by hand; it's metal so no wind-powering going on.


We tried on all the masks and costumes.  The spider headband is never very popular with the boys, but they still try it on.


I love this hockey mask on the boys...very scary!


This was a new masks scored this year...Jude did NOT like the scary masks and emphatically told us so.  Brian had the bright idea to hang both of our skeleton-like masks on the lampposts flanking the door, to scare trick-or-treaters.

The spiderwebs and plastic spiders were by far both boys favorites.  For the next several weeks, the boys keep taking the spiders off and moving them around to different spots on the spiderwebs.

We finished the decorating with Brian reading to the boys a Halloween story, complete with spooky voices.
Can't wait to have the costumes finished!
